SCHOLAR RESPONSES:

Why did you choose to attend the University of Maryland, what makes this place special to you and what is your favorite part of being a Terp?

I chose to attend Maryland because of its strong academic offering, namely its recently renovated and highly held engineering department. In addition, its location in an urban environment near Washington DC would prove to be an exciting and opportunistic location; far enough from my home in New Jersey to feel distant, but close enough that traveling home would not be a major issue. Being in a marching band was an opportunity that I had always sought after but never had the chance to fulfill, and upon research found that I would be more than welcome to join despite having no experience. Maryland is a place full of intellect, opportunity, and spirit, which is why I chose to attend.
